Few details accompany this portrait of Dr. Sophie Nordhoff Jung, and the name comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, which have not been independently confirmed. The image is a glass negative of 5 by 7 inches or smaller, a format the company used widely in the years before 1920, when it made portraits alongside its views of Washington, D.C. Look closely and you may notice streaks and small blemishes, which come from the coating on the glass deteriorating over the decades rather than from the original photographic work.
